Healthcare professionals and researchers
High-resolution recovery evidence for clinical questions
Design prospective or retrospective studies, evaluate services and technologies, and generate governed outputs from recovery measured in daily life.
Shape the study around the question
Work with academic clinicians to refine the design, understand what can be measured and configure collection around the question.

Three modes of clinical data collection
Choose patient-facing feedback, blinded historical analysis or blinded prospective collection according to the research question and protocol.
01 · Patient-facing
Recovery visible to patients and clinicians
Participants can join at an appropriate point, establish available preoperative context and follow their own recovery curve over time.
- Patient-facing Recovery app
- Preoperative and postoperative data
- Shared understanding of the recovery trajectory
02 · Retrospective and blinded
Historical recovery analysis
Use eligible smartphone activity retained on participants’ phones to compare historical recovery between groups.
- Blinded Outcomes app
- Low-burden retrospective recruitment
- Rapid collection of longitudinal recovery data
03 · Prospective and blinded
Controlled cohort reporting
Collect new data without patient feedback, with monthly aggregate outputs or controlled release to approved stakeholders.
- Defined prospective collection window
- Group or participant-level outputs
- Governed release over time
Project pathway
From clinical question to evidence in practice
AfterSurg’s academic clinicians work with clinical sites, research teams, industry and funders across six connected stages.
- 01
Co-design the question
Refine the population, intervention, baseline, endpoints and methodology with clinical, research, industry and funding teams.
- 02
Agree governance
Define responsibilities, ethics and regulatory routes, site approvals, participant information and approved data flows.
- 03
Configure the study
Customise branding, collection windows, participant IDs, information or consent links and team access.
- 04
Recruit participants
The onsite coordinator or recruiter invites eligible patients in clinic or remotely and supports setup.
- 05
Collect and analyse
Approved activity data returns securely for completeness checks, recovery metrics and back-end analysis.
- 06
Report and translate
Governed outputs return to teams and patients, supporting reports, publications, presentations and guideline submissions.
The exact route, approvals and outputs are agreed for each project before collection begins.
